A Game that is Mine

Posted by Hanane on February 19, 2009
Hi Everybody,Sometimes when I feel annoyed, I take an English word and I start deriving the maximum of words out of its letters. Here you are an example: let's take the word "Listen". So, the words I can get from are: list, ten, is, let, enlist, lie, lies, it, in. mmm what else , sin, sent...Try it and tell me what is your opinion. More, it is your turn to provide something to help activate this beloved club. Some of my friends appreciated the game and told me that it is a good way to remember vocabulary and asked me to share it with you.I hope you enjoy it.
